  RESEARCH human comp collab

1. human theme silly or serious (mood?)? why?
   is that the strongest direction for the theme? how so or not?
2. how does the manner in which you create the dots support the theme and the silliness or serious degree? explain. is that best solution to support concept and mood? how does the manner or location for the white space support the theme and mood? does it strengthen? weaken? or is it neutral? explain.  
3. independently research your theme (historical references, contemporary samples, personal examples, connections to other ideas, stereotypes, etc).
4. is the piece calling viewer to a light moment of laughter, create an awareness about a real issue, activating viewer to respond? what is the point of the work? what are you saying with it? anything worth hearing?
5. add some independ research based on your interests relative to the theme your team has choosen
6. list 5 ways you think the team could improve the project conceptual and formally.

• [p3] mapscape #2 to WOW level-blow yourself away with with ambition, thoughtfulness and craft
• installing your crews mapscape exhibition for crit
  NO HAMMERING! this can knock other work off the wall even if 15 or more feet away!
  Bring the hardware to hang your work and some alternatives just in case. Sheet rock screws work fine. You do not need super sized screws. Depth range from 1 5/8 to 2 inches should work fine. Three drills are available during tool room hours as well as levels.
  

  MW crew - install on east walls and rolling walls
  Sunday night beginning at 6 pm through Monday morning at 9 am.
  
  TTH crew - install on west walls
  Monday 5pm -Tuesday 9 am.

  

  
  Your top mapscape should be just above 57".
  Note height of work already on wall. Coordinate.
  Your work should be put up like an exhibition and consider what is on either side.
  
  Don't forget your fortune cookie sized name tag.
